To me, it’s a bit of both — as both noun and verb.

Noun: Love is part of the continuum of feelings along the positivity scale (including contentment, joy, serenity, awe, gratitude, etc.).

Verb: It’s a practice . . . and is the more challenging one when we’re challenged by another.

I’m considering what practices I need to center in order to lead with love in 2026. Goal: 1% better every day.
